You read the paper, watch the news and think

Your well informed

I’ve got some new for you my frienf

That headline that you read, the story that broke

Was a scandle and a scam, a political master stroke

They tell you what they want you to hear

So close your eyes and open your ears



It’s easier that way when you don’t have to

Think for your self you say

I tell you no lies

I read it all in black and white

It was on my TV – they were telling me just what to believe

I tell you no lies – all the while they’re tellin you lies



Everyday you and me, we see what we are shown

It’s hard to scratch below

The people at the top, are hidden far from veiw

They’re not goin to show their faces

To the likes of me and you

You never see them on the street

Always see the things that they do



They know they can get away and no price is too

High for them to pay



I tell you no lies.

It’s very simple it’s in black and white

It’s on your TV – we got every thing you need to believe

I tell you no lies – and all the while they are telling you lies
